At one time UP was struggling with the identity of a BIMARU state – Yogi

At one time, the education system of Uttar Pradesh was badly affected due to vested interests and the state was struggling with the identity of ‘Bimaru’. But in the last nine years, there have been extensive reforms in the education sector, due to which the state is progressing rapidly and teachers have also got respectable recognition in the society.

The Chief Minister said that the government has also signed an agreement related to social security with the State Bank of India. Under this, temporary teachers will also be given various social security benefits including risk cover. Uttar Pradesh is becoming the first state in the country to implement such a comprehensive system. Education is not just a medium of employment but the foundation of nation building.

He called upon the teachers to take inspiration from great teachers like Acharya Chanakya, Mahamana Madan Mohan Malviya and Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and said that only strong teachers can build a strong society and a strong nation.
